Firewall is a standalone and software-based network device that is used to control, block, and allow the network traffic on the basis of rules and policies set. With the increasing needs of security, organizations are rapidly adopting the latest security technologies so as to counteract the advanced threats which are evolving at a much higher pace. The enterprise firewall market is completely driven by the rising demand of dedicated network in the enterprise that provides solutions, delivers scalability, reliability, and deep security at multi Giga-bit speeds. NGFW is one such solution that is being rapidly adopted by large enterprises due to its multiple functionalities and benefits. Additionally, it offer benefits such as centralized management of data, deep packet inspection at ultra low latency level, user identification, application control, and enhanced IDS/IPS solutions.

The demand for cloud-based firewall solution is accelerating due to its cost-effective and real-time security solutions along with improved operational efficiency features of the platform. But as the network infrastructure is widening and the data are pushed into cloud, more granular access control and multilevel security is required to secure the enterprise network. On the other hand, UTM devices are giving much competition to firewalls and restricting its penetration in SMEs. Hence, vendors in enterprise firewall industry are coming up with technologies and solutions to increase its adoption in SMEs too. The market is quite competitive with the entry of niche players which provide innovative integrated software and tools thereby increase their market bargain capability among the large vendors.

Enterprise Firewall market research report provides in-depth analysis of the overall enterprise firewall market across different parts of the world. With the increase in data breaches and various security threats, organizations are facing a tough time to maintain the confidentiality and privacy of their data. For this, advanced security solutions are predominantly required to safeguard data and network infrastructure.

Firewalls are the first line of defense between organization network and threats and its market has evolved since the past few years. Initially these solutions were used for filtering of data packets at network layer at low speed. However, with advent of Internet, the large amount of data is transferred over Internet networks, stimulating the susceptible risks. This has enforced the enterprises to replace their existing firewall solutions with the advanced ones.

Policy driven government regulations, increasing number of sophisticated threats, and rising customer interest in NGFW functionalities are three main drivers behind the increasing firewall market. Furthermore, cloud computing, virtualization, and workforce mobility are other such factors driving this market. The market has emerged from the traditional stateless packet filtering, state full packet filtering, UTM, NGFW, and so on. The enterprise firewall research report involves a large number of vendors providing dedicated security solutions and services.
